Influenced by the early 20th Century British, American and Russian Impressionists, his work has been celebrated in a number of plein air exhibitions and is actively collected for it's strong interpretation of light, mood and atmosphere.

He says this about his work: "It's really all about light and mood. I'm trying to capture the subtle beauty and simple design of what I feel about what I see.
A collector once said to me 'David your work is more poetic than picturesque'-and I'm totally fine with that."
